#BEDM - Self Care - Looking after you!

Hey Loves and happy Sunday

The perfect day to be discussing self care. If you saw my post about body confidence the other day you will know I am a big believer in caring and loving for yourself. There is so much more to self care though than just thinking "You know what I am pretty cool" or learning to love your body it all starts on the inside. The most important thing is making time for you.

I imagine by now you are already making excuse...but the kids,,,but I have university work...but I am just so busy. Now just stop for a minute and really think about the last time you did something for you. Not the kids and not your mates. What was it?

Making time for yourself isn't selfish and it doesn't mean you need to suddenly start going our to crazy things all on your own. There are lots of little simple things you can do that can all add up to be just as effective in the long run. Here are a few ideas.

Take 10 minutes from the chaos and have a glass of wine or a cup of tea

Take a candlelit bubble bath

Go for a walk or do some yoga

Watch a film that makes you laugh

Read a book

Do something you love be it playing an instrument or making something fun

Try something new

Make sure you are getting enough sleep and enough to eat

Make a list of all the things that are amazing about yourself

Read some blogs and discover new amazing things.

I have also joined some great sites that can help remind you to think of you. I love Daily challenge and most recently I signed up to The Hummingbird Life self care reminders where she sends out tasks and goals you can set to become a self care warrior. I actually found this awesome blog through Blog every day in may!

I love reading this and my biggest self care tip is to travel. If you have the chance, travel!! It's so rejuvenating exploring and searching for new things and places.It's like an instant injection of vitamins straight into your system. And by having travels booked, you always have something to look forward to. I spend most of my money on travels (and fashion), and I'm happy I have a husband that shares my passion. xxx
